Summary :
When using SAP GUI in a WAN environment, performance issues may arise. Key strategies to enhance performance include altering the front-end design and adjusting network settings. Switching SAP GUI from "New Visual Design" to "Classic Design" can significantly reduce CPU consumption, especially with older graphic boards. This adjustment is detailed in SAP's Note 173028 with relevant files located in "SAPpc\sapview\". Additionally, for networks with slow response times, configuring the "Low Speed Connection" setting in SAPLOGON can help by reducing data sent to the front end, thus improving load times. This setting is found under SAPLOGON -> PROPERTIES -> ADVANCED. However, note that this may impact usability by reducing menu completeness and disabling certain features like default values and Drag/Relate.
